From the past. The industrial model.
Old Journalism: Centralized. Oligarchic. Nepotistic.
“The Guardian may have to slash costs by
more than 60% to survive.
The company has burned through another £48
million in cash since April this year”.

To the future. The Social model.
New Journalism: Popular. Democratic. Meritocratic.

5. 4
The revolution is here.
• News are produced by delocalized, freelance
contributors (Blasters).
• Blasters are paid based on number of visitors.
Made by the People.
1
• Every single news is fact-checked and curated by:
• a technology layer, and
• a quality team of professionals (Senior Blasters).
Curated by professionals.
2
• Each news is distributed by its own creators.
• The best news are distributed by Social Blasters, a
global team of 700+ digital influencers selected
through applications and interviews.
Huge social media power.
3
• All the core processes are managed by technology:
e.g., homepages are handled by a patent-pending
technology without human intervention.
• 40% of the team is IT/tech focused.
A tech platform, not an old-style publisher.
